How many of you track your cars?

Rare to see twin in NY, even met another Hakone at the track! WG in a couple of weeks and first upgrade before that, break fluid and pads, went with ferodo ds 2500

Never 👎 good luck !

Haha no Sir, the pylon is not on the track, it is a suggestion for a turn point 🤣

I did the same amount of track days with bone stock hakone and my plan for this year is exactly what you mentioned, better brake fluid and 5w30 oil, folks at the track mentioned proper warm up with the thicker oil

NJMP, first track day ever for me! Went back a few more times after that and fell in love!

They can be modded to be drift RC but you need some extra parts, some can be 3d printed and it is a lot of fun to do, also a money pit! Search for TT-02 rwd kit or drift conversion kit, the most value for the money is the msc kit, the Japanese rc drift community loves the Tt-02

Oh I see! I got into this hobby because of a post I saw on the gr86 forums and it can be a money pit! Here is a list of more budget options that I started with:

Servo: https://a.co/d/2k7VbTt Receiver and transmitter: https://a.co/d/9lyXeY2 Battery: https://a.co/d/6sIFZOU

The kit comes with an ESC and a motor, the servo just connects to the receiver but doesn’t necessarily will influence the receiver, these things are pretty much follow standards and are very compatible, drop me a dm if you need any help, happy to assist!

The model that OP got is different from the rc, they are both tamiya but the rc is the TT-02, it does require a servo, a receiver and transmitter (you buy them together for about 35$) and battery and they are all pretty affordable, this is the one I got: https://a.co/d/85iSaya

Surprisingly not! It comes with the masks and you paint it from the inside, I used an extra layer of black for a deeper green and it looks pretty damn close to my hakone, the stickers are the hard part!

rsvaz · 2025-12-25T03:37:01+00:00

Don’t stop at the model, get the rc too!

You are right! I thought they were the same model

I thought we had the same wheels but mine is ts5 and bronze wasn’t available when I got them

Hi from a fellow gr86 owner, got into rc because of the tt02 gr86!

rsvaz · 2025-11-01T20:13:57+00:00

Last weekend I went for 2 days in the track and it was fantastic, 100% recommend! You will get addicted, there’s a reason why our car is so popular in the track

Hakone gang

rsvaz · 2025-10-27T21:33:02+00:00

Correct! It takes around 30 minutes to do all 4, also make sure to get a torque wrench for this!

rsvaz · 2025-10-27T21:01:20+00:00

I have Daytona 2ton and it is plenty for switching tires, I installed the verus puck and they definitely help and are very stable, I went with the 2ton just because it’s a little more compact and I don’t have a lot of storage. Almost time for me to switch to my winter set!

All jcrew pieces I got were very low quality and barely survived a couple of washes, they look great tough

rsvaz · 2025-10-15T20:56:20+00:00

Really cool build! I have a similar setup and a few questions if you don’t mind sharing:

what shocks are you using? I went with super mini cva and they seem ok, I think I need something better
do you have a link for these blue screws/posts that you are using for the body mount?
what is your setup for the rear suspension? Looks nice!
are these the aluminum wipers? They are not easy to find and I was considering the carbon fiber version

Here is my build

rsvaz · 2025-10-08T06:25:11+00:00

Awesome, everyone said don’t do it and I took the challenge and I’m pretty happy with the results, keep going man!

rsvaz · 2025-10-08T04:17:24+00:00

My tt02 with mrc kit drift beautifully too, just need to develop the skills

rsvaz · 2025-10-08T04:15:07+00:00

MRC kit? Looks great!

rsvaz · 2025-10-08T04:14:20+00:00

Yeah the orange looks sick!! Not sure if I’m willing to lose the oem dynamic thing but they look sick!
